Without the Dignity Funeral Plan, I wouldn't have known where to begin. The policy gave me the number of a local company, just 5 minutes down the road with the most wonderful staff. Every step was handled with compassion and everything explained simply, from visiting, logistics, finding the most perfect vicar, Order of Service,Dad's ashes and the Stonemason. There wasn't a thing they couldn't help with, were always available and all correspondence was quickly dealt with. There were a couple of unusual issues, the necessary doctor was not available for 2 weeks, so everything was provisionally booked to start with and they looked after my dad with great respect. My dad requested balloons on his coffin, this didn't phase them in the slightest and they dealt with it as if it were the simplest thing in the world. I cannot thank them enough, in particular, Laura and Matt who maintained a continuity of service that instilled complete trust in them. Thank you so very much for helping me through this.
